Cold evidence
(Book)

The accused had no motive. But there's a mountain of evidence against him. A decorated war hero, Ty Chapman has built his dream life in the quiet lakeside community of Delphi, Michigan. He has a beautiful wife. A baby on the way. Everything to live for. He's the last person anyone would suspect of beating a local handyman to death behind a seedy motel. But when two credible witnesses see him running from the crime scene, hands bloodied, the police believe thay have him cold. Cass Leary is Delphi's top defense attourney. In Ty Chapman, she's finally got a client who can afford her. Only Ty goes mute anytime she tries to get his side of the story. All she has is a parade of character witnesses who swear Ty isn't capable of such a heinous act. The more Cass delves into the mystery, the more questions she has about the victim. Only most of what she learns is inadmissable in court and Ty still won't tell her what happened in those woods. Will Cass's fight win her client's freedom or expose an even more shocking truth?
